Consent is also refused if the activity is not suitable for a Big Event (where applicable), the applicant has breached a previous consent, or has convictions for street trading offences or other offences of concern.

Consents last for up to one year.

It is important to note that this consent does not give permission to park in any parking bay (whether a residents’ parking bay or pay-and-display bay) in order to trade from that location whilst any governing restricted hours are in force.

Applications take at least 35 days to process, including a 28 day consultation.

It is in the public interest that we process your application before it can be granted. You can't trade without permission.

A consent costs £462

A consent to trade during a Big Event costs £21 per day

Although there is no formal right of appeal against a refusal of an application, we will consider requests to review our decision.
